Nobody entered the 2020 season thinking that, at some point, Marcus Allen would be starting games—let alone starting games at linebacker. But it is 2020, and here we are. The 2018 fifth-round safety has played the majority of snaps at linebacker for the past two games due to a series of injuries at the position.
It started with Devin Bush going down with a torn ACL quite a while ago. Over time, Robert Spillane and Ulysees Gilbert III would also get injured, and then Vince Williams tested positive for Covid-19, putting him out for the past two games.
